SC Professor Circles Globe in Jet * * ****** Flying Dentist Returns
SC professors arc traveling all over the world this summer, but Dr. Earl Pound, instructor in the postgraduate division of School of Dentistry, and his wife probably travelled the most miles in the least amount of time.
Dr. Pound and his wife spent three and a half months on their 50,000 mile globe-circling air trip from which they returned last week.
By flying most of the way on British jet planes the couple saved an estimated year and a half over the time it would have taken them to make the same zigzagging trip by boat.
Although Dr. Pounds and his wife saw most of the world during their exciting trip, it wasn’t just a pleasure jaunt.
The local authority on dentures had accepted invitations to address leading conventions of dentists in Australia and South Africa. Before the trip ended he had brought the latest techniques of American dentistry to nine foreign countries.
Places in which he lectured included Rome, Johannesburg, Tokyo, Manila, Singapore and Hong Kong. The shortest stay in any city, aside from brief stops between planes, was five days.
“One of our interesting observations,” Mrs. Pound noted, “was that t|ie whole world appears to be on the way to talking English. We seldom needed interpreters. Even though they could not speak good English they understood it. My greatest thrill in Australia was to see the huge monuments erected to Amerycans for helping to save Australia in the last war.”
Dr. Pound said that much of the trip was made on British jet transports which flew across
India and over some of the oceans at altitudes of 40,000 ft. at 535 m.p.h. “We had,” he admitted, “a minor scare over the Equator during a violent snowstorm.
“But the jet pilot was amazing. He whizzed around storm clouds some of which reach to 50,000 feet, so expertly that we mised much of the buffeting. The rest of the trip was quite smooth.
At a night’s stop in Nairobi, East Africa, armed guards met us as we left the plane, escorted us to our room in the hotel and advised us to stay in the room until departure time in the morning. It was explained to us that the natives had ob-and were threatening to expel all whites form Africa. Virtual-said to be sending troops.
“Two of the losers in the last war, Italy and Japan, appeared to be in the best general condition of any of the countries we visited. In Japan we felt no feelings of vengeance toward us— only graciousness. The fact is that the Japanese seemed a bit ashamed of Pearl Harbor.
“P erhaps all diplomats should circle the world in a jet. Then they would realize for the first time how really small the earth has become. The western manner of dressing Is spreading to the Orient. Our clothes and even our slacks are being worn in India. You can see our type of clothing in Zulu huts. American soft drinks are everywhere.” In Hong Kong, Dr. and Mrs. Pound were amazed at the number of freighters in the harbor. They were informed that many of the cargoes of these ships will be “sneaked” into Russia.
The local dental expert said that a chief trouble with dentistry ill such countries as
